    I’m good. I won’t be watching more John Halo episodes. They should have made it a non Halo story instead of shoehorning a non-Halo story into the Halo universe.

      All they had to do was adapt Halo: Reach. that’s it. You want someone the audience can relate to? easy, Noble Six. Coulda literally made that character be anyone because that’s who they are when we play, anyone. you can make it a season or two and gradually one after one the Noble Team kicks the bucket until the end where you can have your nice little reveal of the Master Chief.

      For people who played it’ll be neat for them because they know what’s coming and have to relive that emotional roller coaster. For people who didn’t? it’ll be shocking and again an emotional roller coaster. You even have the history with Halsey and all that thrown in.

      I mean the mainline Halo story goes off the rails eventually anyways but they literally had an easy layup with just adapting Halo: Reach. Hell coulda just done an ODST show.

        This is the most frustrating thing. The halo games and novels have so many spin off stories and niches to fill. They could’ve told their own story in the halo universe, but no.

      Or just by not been Master Chief the main character. If the protagonist was another member of the team and MC was there but as a side character the show would be much better.

      Yeah.

      …But then, where would the marketing appeal be, I guess? Most people probably watched it because of the Halo brand.
